The Big Picture
In many ways, the CHANNEL MATRIX serves as a miniatur-
ized representation of an expanded ProControl system. In-
stead of 16 or more channel strips at your fingertips, the
central keypad, bank, status and other controls of the
CHANNEL MATRIX provide a 32- channel wide view of any
session on any system.
Capabilities of the CHANNEL MATRIX
• Assign and display channel status for SELECT, MUTE,
SOLO, and REC/RDY
• Quickly bring any channels to the faders (an alternative
method of bank swapping)
• Select Plug-In parameter pages
• Create and enable/disable Groups
• Enter alpha-numeric data (in combination with the Nu-
meric Keypad)
• Commands Keyboard Focus (selectable modes and single-
key shortcuts). See Appendix C: ProControl Shortcuts and
Equivalents for a listing of all ProControl equivalents for
Pro Tools.
